Has anybody found a use for these yet?

I love them. I make them. You love them. You make them. But when somebody asks what its purpose is, we all start to falter. Yeah, they look great in a little basket... I suppose it could be a pincushion... They're perfect gifts (for friends who then get to figure out what to do with them.)

Ah, the biscornu. As I said, we love them, make them, share them.

You're on my newsletter list, right? This is the Celtic Swirls chart that you get when you sign up. Steff used 18 count cream aida and picked shades of brown (anchor thread numbers 308, 310, 360 and 891) for her exchange partner who loves browns. These really do make sweet little gifts and I'm sure her partner was pleased. Nice job, Steff!

Hmm...now I'm thinking I want to make one and fill it with catnip for a cat toy. I'd only worry about my cats chewing the button off.

Yes, I know it's sacrilege. But I've cross-stitched toys for my cats before, and while I admit I do enjoy people's positive reactions to my stitching, there's a certain satisfaction to be derived from finishing up a little something, tossing it onto the floor and watching the cats go nuts over it - that's a positive reaction, too!

Ummm...my father & I use them to throw at each other. We tend to be ornery & play little jokes on each other. Well, they are soft & don't hurt, plus if the dogs get a hold of them they won't hurt them, so we use them as balls along with decoration.
